Sometimes I get the urge to turn my blog erotic especially in times like these when I have nothing (else on my mind) to write about.<br /><br />Eating Upside Down with your naked man fueled my imagination with my own cravings.<br /><br />Well it involves &quot;one&quot; naked woman and plenty of Labneh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strained_yoghurt)<br />BTW, I strongly urge you to give it a try if you haven&#39;t already done so. Labneh as simple food or as a prop for a totally erotic adventure. Who knows, we might actually get lucky enough to read about it on your blog.<br />I&#39;m sorry I&#39;m not commenting there as much as I&#39;d like but nevertheless I don&#39;t miss any of your posts. Always brilliantly sensual.abufareshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05528721595411746558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-2619809090270386412009-10-30T19:33:44.270+02:002009-10-30T19:33:44.270+02:00Only you would bring deep thoughts on your way to a recipe! looks good ... made me want to go home a cook with my man who has this wonderful &quot;bad&quot; habit of wearing nothing ... dangerous but oh so yummy!Fantasia Lillithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-3759544167031698202009-10-29T16:55:08.713+03:002009-10-29T16:55:08.713+03:00@Katia<br />Ohhh, a countdown.

However, being from Tartous I&#39;m obviously more biased toward her than anywhere else, food included.<br />I&#39;m sorry you don&#39;t enjoy my writing anymore but there&#39;s very little I can do about that.<br />You see, I too read plenty of stuff I don&#39;t like everyday but it never occurs to me to leave comments on blogs saying that their food is repelling or that their version of a certain dish is the monkeys version.<br />There is no way that my writing can &quot;appeal&quot; to everyone. Even Holy Text cannot claim such honor. My writing, technically speaking, remains very high standard. As to being respectful this is obviously subjective.<br />Nevertheless, you are always welcome to voice your opinion.<br />Thank you for your comments.abufareshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05528721595411746558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-66487594726100682762009-10-29T10:39:54.343+03:002009-10-29T10:39:54.343+03:00Hello, Abu Fares!

I must agree, work is very over-rated. 2 good thigns come out of having a job: a sense of pride at having accomplished something in your career, and a paycheck. At this point I am quite happy with what I have accomplished career-wse, so the only thing i miss about not having a job is... the paycheck lol. I am on the hunt to find a way to retire comfortably by the age of 30 and Im slowly but surely running out of time, lol.. but if i never have to spend 40, 50, 60, 70 hours a week at an office anymore, Ill be the happiest person alive :)Ziggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08359008120255011866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-14001284786059898792009-10-27T01:56:01.887+03:002009-10-27T01:56:01.887+03:00Abufares, my dear friend, I&#39;m afraid I have been very negligent where you are concerned. I suppose since we started this story of ours I&#39;ve become complacent...you&#39;re always with me at my place and I&#39;ve gotten lazy about commenting on yours. I never miss reading a single, wonderful post though, as you know. Your recipe is delightful as is any post you write. I can only hope that the burdens of work lift enough again to allow you to enjoy all of the things that bring you fulfillment and particularly so you find time to continue thrilling us with your wonderful talent. :) See you soon at my place.

In return, I want to share a recipe someone gave to me earlier this year (if for no other reason, than to add another eggplant dish that&#39;s so divine it can&#39;t be disliked):<br /><br />1 globe eggplant<br />2 eggs<br />1 teaspoon salt<br />1/2 teaspoon pepper<br />6 tablespoons butter <br />1 cup each: dried potato flakes (instant mashed potatoes), grates parmesan cheese<br /><br />Preheat oven to 400F. While oven is heating, put butter in a baking dish and melt the butter in the heating oven. Peel the eggplant and slice it into 1/2&quot; rounds. Feel free to cut the larger rounds in half. Whisk together egg, salt and pepper. Combine potato flakes and cheese in another bowl/plate. Dip eggplant into egg mixture, then coat in the potato/cheese mixture. Place rounds in preheated pan. Bake 10 minutes, then flip the eggplants and bake another 10 minutes. Serves 2. <br /><br />If you want to see what they look like, there&#39;s a picture here: http://seidhr.blogspot.com/2009/08/potato-and-cheese-crusted-eggplant.htmlAlliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09981628640737207011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-79644188039167917852009-10-26T00:31:42.052+03:002009-10-26T00:31:42.052+03:00<a href="http://www.designunder.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/upside_down_world_map_1600x1200.jpg" rel="nofollow">Upside Down!</a><br /><br />Good to see that you&#39;re back in action Abufares.
